One Sano Man in Maino.
A writer in the Evangelist, published in the
above State, seems to have discovered that the
Bible recognizes the institution of slavery.—
I to says:
*• We believe the laws of Moses do sanction
in general that relation of master and servant
which they describe and regulate. And if
Paul, in the 5t Ii and tit li chapters of Ephesians,
sanctions the conjugal, paternal and filial re
lations, wc cannot understand why he docs
not sanction that relation of master and ser
vant, of which lie speaks in the same connec
tion.”
We hope others may havo their attention
directed to the same source. They will gain
from it no doubt valuable information, the
practice of which they will find profitable, if
i hoy have not reached the paroxysm of fanat
icism which is always the premonitory symp
tom of infidelity. Those who have reached
■ his fearful crisis in moral degeneracy are sel
'loia restored to a proper state of mind, but
like a Parker they goon waxing worse and
worse, until they are given up to believe a
lie. This is the legitimate result to which a
reckless fanaticism tends. —True Witness.

Hove you ever Thought of It 1
Several years ago some good persons in the
city of Loudon, witnessing the dangers to i
which young men were exposed, in regal’d to
their morals, conceived the idea of originating
an Association, that would throw around them
a wholesome influence, and be the means of
benefiting them. They met and organized
an Institution which they denominated the
“Young Men’s Christian Association.” Its
aim was to elevate the standard of morality,
withdraw from base influences and associa
tions and connections, lead into paths of pu
rity and holiness and elevate and refine,
mentally, morally and spiritually. It bunded
together young men whose determination it
was to improve themselves, rescue others from
degradation, and advance all towards the
goal of excellence in morality and true piety.
Mutual assistance, brotherly love and chari
ty towards destitute and dissolute young men,
were the bonds which held the association to
gether, and animated its members to deeds of
moral heroism and philanthropy.
The success of the Institution was wonder
ful. Its originators with joy and thanksgiv
ing congratulated themselves upon the happy
development of their idea. Other associations
of a kindred nature sprang up all over the
continent of Europe; and wherever they rose,
they cast a benign influence upon tlie ‘class
intended to be benefited.
In tlie United States similar principles and
aims found a congenial soil; they took root
and spread rapidly—and now in all the pro
minent cities of the. Union, these associations
exist and flourish. The amount of good they
perform, in all its consequences, is incalcula
ble. Their immediate object is the elevation
of those upon whose shoulders is to rest the
destinies of our Republic—Grose who accord
ingas they are vile or virtuous, immoral or
moral, depress the tone of society, making it
infamous, or exalt humanity, increasing joy
and happiness. Their ultimate purpose is
the regeneration of the world—making the
earth to be “filledwith the knowledge of the
glory of God, as tHe waters cover the sea."’
They operate by means of good papers,
choicely selected books, meetings for moral .
and spiritual improvement, public lectures
mid the many different ways by which good
may be accomplished. If a young man finds
himself in a strange city seeking employment,
lie receives assistance, and is induced to at
tend tlie house of prayer, lest evil associates
entice him into dens of infamy. Does a young
unmarried man find his evenings a burden to
him, and lienee be tempted to w’aste his time
in frivolity and dissipation, he, on becoming
a member of such an association, finds a place
where he can retire for improvement, being
sure of meeting upright associates. Thus in
a degree is the saving influence of the family
circle exerted.
Who would not favor such an enterprise ?
What young man would hesitate to enrol him
self among those who profess to have in view
purposes and ends so noble ?

Murder and Roliliery.
A letter was received by his Honor the May
or on Monday last, from Pon Pon, stating that
tlio Cattle Tender of Col. Moise had been mur
dered, and twenty-two cattle driven off, as was
supposed, to the city. The Chief of l’olico
deputed officer Hicks to investigate the matter,
who shortly ascertained that a portion of tho
cattle had been brougiit to the city and sold,
ami from the description of the parties in the
transaction, recognized them as persons whom
lie had noticed witli suspicion previously. A
Stato warrant was issued for their arrest, by
the Attorney General, with which officer Hicks
left tlio city for the neighborhood of Rnutowles;
but upon his arrival there, he ascertained that
the Magistrates of the vicinity had already
acted, and had under arrest Robert Miller and
James Miller, brothers; Isaac Winningham,
William Murray, Richard Williams, Nat. Bow
man, and a runaway nogro. They were con
veyed to Walterboro, and, upon examination,
Bowman, the youngest of the party, turned
States’ evidence and testified to the killing of
tho Cattle Tender, on tlio night of the 10th
inst. lie was first struck on the head with an
axe by Winningham, and his body dragged
about six hundred yards, and concealed in a
briar patch, tho other parties aiding and con
senting to the murdor, which was deliberately
planned beforehand. The parties were all
committed to jail at Walterboro, to take their
trial at the next Court of Sessions. —Charleston

The Daughter of a Fremont Elector mar
ried to a Nigger!—Wliat are we coming to ?
The following is from n Crawfordsville (In

“The doctrine that has been so boldly advoca t ed
by the leaders of the Abolition party, during
the last year, ‘that a negro was as good as a
white man,’ has become, with a majority of
the members of that, party, a fixed fact. No
longer than last week, a man residing in the
vioinity of Obcrlin College, in tho State of
Ohio, gave his only daughter in marriage to
a sooty African, who had been educated at
this Abolition Institute. This man, we un
derstand, is a State Elector on the Fremont
ticket, and regards the negro as his equal.
The young lady is described as being extreme

while her dusky lord is blacker than tlifc dark

Affairs In Nicaragua.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from the city of Granada, under date
of October 2d, gives some particulars in rela
tion to the condition of our affairs in Nicara
gua, and the position assumed by our Gov
ernment towards General Walker, that are
perhaps more nearly accurate than those com
ing through Walker’s organ, El Nicaraguense :
1 have been somewhat disappointed in the
appearance of the city of Granada. I had
been led to suppose that it contained within
its limits some ten or twelve thousand inhabi
tants; but from a careful personal explora
tion and estimate, I am inclined to think that
the entire population, American and native,
does not at present exceed two or three thou
sand. In former days Granada must have
been a magnificent city, and this the buildings,
yet in a state of preservation, clearly indicate;
but a large portion of the city, churches in
cluded, is now in a state of dilapidation; and
this is also true in regard to the other cities
of the republic. A better state of things can
not be hoped for until internal wars and rev
olutions cease, and Nicaragua becomes entire
ly North Americanized.
The President, General Walker, appears to
be very popular with the army, and with the
American portion of citizens of this Republic.
That he is qualified for his present exalted
position cannot be doubted, and that lie exer
cises the supreme authority with which he
lias been clothed, with great judgment and
moderation, is universally admitted. Tho
heads of the departments and other officers of
the administration, civil and military, appear
to be generally men of experience and ability.
A majority of these, not including the heads
of departments, are Americans and Euro
peans. A large majority of the native popu
lation—legitimists and liberals, Chainorists,
llivasites, Leonites and Granadians—are be
lieved to be hostile to the Walker administra
tion and flic North Americans generally. In
deed, 1 have been assured on tlie authority of
a high-born native lady, friendly to General
Walker and to tlio cause of progress, that there
are not more than eighty families in Grana
da entertaining sentiments on this subject in
consonance with her own; and yet confidence
in (lie ultimate success of President Walker
appears to be daily gaining strength.
The union between tlio Chauioristas and
llivasites, for the overthrow of General Walk
er, can be but temporary, ‘flic present con
test appear to be a war of colors, and should
the natives succeed in effecting tlie expulsion
on destruction of Walker and his army, thei
intestine broils between the “serviles” and
“liberals” would undoubtedly be renewed
with increased violence. General Walker is
emphatically the head of the government,
performing himself ninny of tlie duties belong
ing to the several departments ; and no other
in Nicaragua could so well fill his place in the
present crisis of public affairs. He seems to
have been designed by Providence to work
out the political salvation on Central Amer
ica.
The late recognition here of General Walk
er’s administration by Col. Wheeler, United
States Minister, appears, by the last official
advices from Washington, to have been virtu
ally approved by the President of the United
States, though Mr. Oaksmith had not, and
probably will not, be at present accredited by
Pierce as Minister from this republic. It is
probable that no change will be made in the
present relation between this government and
that of the United Stales until after the rati
fication of the treaty in reference to Central
American affairs, negotiated by Mr. Dallas at
the Court of St. James. In the meantime
Major lleiss, (who arrived here by tlie Ten
nessee on a flying visit, and returns by the
next steamer) will, probably continue, by au
thority of President Walker, and with the ap
probation of the President Pierce, to exercise
the functions of Uharge d’Affairs to the Uni
ted States, from the republic of Nicaragua.
And Mr. Wheeler, it is understood has also
received from Washington authority or in
structions to correspond on certain important
matters with the Nicaraguan government;
thus, as I have before remarked, virtually re
cognizing the administration of President
Walker.
Since the above was written, an event has
occurred which fully establishes the view’s I
have expressed in regard to the feelings en
tertained by President Pierce towards the
present government of Nicaragua. A beauti
ful national flag was on Tuesday last presented
by Col. Hall, from Mr. A. C. Lawrence, of
New York, to the rifle battalion of Nicara
gua, commanded by Col. Anderson; and on
the same evening a party was given in
honor of tlie occasion, by Col. A. and the
other officers of the battalion, at which,
among other distinguished guests, Col. Wheel
er was present, and at which much wine was
disposed of, many toasts responded to, and
many speeches delivered.
In reply to a complimentary sentiment.
Col. Wheeler declared himself to be heart and
soul iu favor of the present administration of
their republic and expressed his belief that
Nicaragua would ultimately become a star of
North American confederacy. He further an
nounced that he was instructed by his late
dispatches from Washington to express to tlie
President of Nicaragua tlio earnest desire of
the President of the United States that peace
and prosperity might attend tlie republic.
In regard to the position and movements of
the military forces opposed to General Walk
er, reports are from time to time so con
tradictory that it is almost impossible to
adopt, any safe conclusion. Correct informa,
tion as to the two battles fought at San Jacin
to Branch, you will have already received by
the Tonneessec. It is stated that in the last
of these two battles—that in which Col. Cole
was killed—the American loss is ascertained
to have been some thirty killed, missing, and
mortally wounded. The loss of the enemy is
of couse unknown. The enemy's forces (about
800) it is reported, remained at San Jacinto
for two or three days subsequently to the bat
tle, and then marched to Nicaragua, some
forty-five miles northwest of this city, and
about equidistance from Granada and Leon,
the American garrisrn having loft. Managua
and taken up their quarters at Massaya, a
city about twelve miles northwest of Oranada,
ou tlie route to Managua. Tlie enemy’s force
now concentrated nt Managua, is reported to
be about 4,800. The available Walker, or
patriot force at Massaya, is estimated at
500; at Granada 400, and at Rivas, Snn Car
los, and Sarapiqui, (south of this city,) about
200 men, all provided with a plenty of arms
and ammunition. Six howitzers, throwing
twelve-pound shells, purchased in New York
for Nicaragua, and to be received by the
steamer Texas, now due at Sau Juan del Nor
te, will greatly increase the efficiency of Gon.
Walker's operations, and much astonish tlie
natives should these howitzers he turned
against Managua or any other fortified adobe
town in possession of the enemy. It seeing
that after the occupancy of Managua by the
enemy, they posted pickets along tho route
towards tho Massaya. who were subsequently
driven back by the rangers, since which time
they hu e remained encamped in Managua:
and fi na the information last received at the
Adju'.aht General’s office, it appears that they
are without*cannon, and poorly supplied with
amniunitioi| and provisions. The belief is ex
pressed by the Adjutant General (Thompson)
that they will soou disband or retreat to Leon.
Tire Cuhaa Slave Trude.
The Havana correspondent of the New York
Times writes under date of Oct. Bth :
Our two weeks of tempest, although it has
served to prevent the ordinary business of the
merchant and planter, has been rather favora

five hundred negroes have been landed upon
tho Island of Cuba since he resumed the ad
ministration of the government.’’

White Mail killed by a Negro Woman.
We learn from one of our Nashville ex
changes, that a man named Geo. Taylor, was
struck in the head with a rock, on Sunday

man’s death the next morning. The woman
was arrested, and placed in jail to await her

Western Annoyance.
Judge J., who has recently returned from a
tour in tlie West, relates an anecdote illustrat
ing the hon’ors to which travelers in that re
gion arc exposed. In his passage to one of
the rivers, he fell in company with a talkative
lady and gentleman, to whom he was relating
some of his sufferings from mosquitoes.
“ Husband,” said tlie lady to the gentleman
owning that title, “you had better tell the
gentleman about tlie man we met—iu lowa.”
The hint w r as sufficient, and “husbapd”
proceeded to say that, in their travels farther
West, they made the acquaintance of a stal
wart, rolicking, Western Hoosier, one of the
genius who could “Whip his weight in wild
cats ; ” but who possessed a fund of quiet hu
mor. On one occasion, they had stopped at a
hotel in the interior, not of the most, inviting
appearance. They were shown to their rooms,
the Hoosier at one end, the lady and gentle
man at the other, of a long hall. About mid
night the drowsy couple were startled by a
report of firearms, proceeding from tlie end of
the hall occupied by their traveling compan
ion. Both started up in bed and began to
speculate upon the probable cause of this un
timely alarm, when they heard a rushing of
feet and a confusion of voices in the hall.
On going to the door, the gentleman found
tlie whole househouse, headed by the land
lord, rushing in the direction of the report.
His curiosity led him to join this midnight
procession, and he arrived with the rest in
front of the Hoosier’s door. The landlord
tried the latch, but found it fast, whereupon,
in a loud voice, he demanded instant admis
sion.
“ What do you want ? ” roared a voice with
in.
“ Want to come in ! ” replied the landlord.
“ Can’t do it! ” was the cool response from
within. “It’s my room, and I’m in bed—
can’t come in.”
“Let me in!” shouted the landlord, in a
louder tone, at tlie same time shaking the
door violently, “or I’ll break the door
down! ”
“ Hold on ! ” rejoined tlie voice within ;
“I’ll open the door.” The door was opened,
when in rushed the whole party, expecting to
see the floor covered with blood. What was
their surprise to find everything in its proper
place, and the Hoosier calm. A revolver was
lying carelessly upon the bed.
“Who fired that pistol?” demanded (he
landlord.
“ I did ! ” was the reply.
“Why?” asked the landlord.
The Hoosier stepped to the bed, and throw
ing open the covering, said: “Look here!
Do you see that? ”
The attention of the party was at once di
rected to the point indicated, and there, over
the whole surface of the sheet, bed-bugs were
scrampering in every direction, like a flock
of sheep frightened by a dog. The landlord
was chagrined and puzzled, and looked to liis
lodger for an explanation.
“These,” began the Hoosier, straightening
himself up to his.full height and gesticulating
witli his right hand in grandiloquent style—
“ These are my friends! I have settled an
armistice with them, and we are on friendly
terms: but on the window sill there, just out
side, you will find two infernal big fellows that
I couldn’t do anything with, and so I just put a
bullet thro’ ’em. But it’s all right now ; it’s
all understood between me and my friends
here, and we shall get along well enough
now.”
It is needless to add, that the landlord re
tired to his own bed crest-fallen, while the
spectators enjoyed a hearty laugh.
Criminal Justice.
A coiTcspondent of Porter is the voucher for
this amusing story :
The following occurred in California in its
palmy days, when alcaldes, elected by t he min
ers of the district, dispensed equal and exact
justice to all.
An individual by the name of Green had
borrowed some forty dollars of another of tlio
soubriquet of Shortez.
Now, Shortez could not obtain the money,
though Green had struck a lead and was
known to have dust. Green was a large,
powerful man, but no grit, and Shortez offer
ed to fight for the money, but Green backed
water.
Well, the claim was brougiit before the Al
calde, on a cold, rainy, dismal evening, and
as there was considerable talk about it, the
boys gathered in to sec the fun—rather a
motley appeaving crowd, with long beards and
hair, patched pants, rimless lints, toeless
boots, &o. The honorable Judge was unwell,
but sat tip in his bunk, with a red bandana
tied round his head. The case was clearly
proven. Tlie Alcalde decided that Green must
pay, and if he would not, a committee of three
were to search him or his cabin, and get tlie
money, and also tlie court costs. Upon this,
Shortez deliberately rose and said : “ Yonr
Honor, 1 will forgive him the debt, and pay
the costs besides, if he will only give me a
fight, so that 1 can whale him.”
Green, when he heard this, squared him
self, thinking the court room would be sacred,
but Shortez pitched in at once and clinched.
Several, myself included, sprang in to separate
them, when in deep tones, and waiving tlie
bandana, tlie tlie Judge exclaimed: “Gentle
men, gentlemen, stand back! If tlie parties
wish to effect a compromise, don’t interfere !”
And we stood back. Saw Green whipped in
a few seconds, and after that obliged to pay
the funds.
The above was California justice as true ns
the Gospel of St. John.

A Live Snake in a Live Man.
A gentleman whoso name wc did not learn,
says the San Francisco Golden Eagle, arrived
in this city from Bird’s Hill, for the purpose of
procuring surgical advice in relation to the
possibility of removing from the Stomach a
large snake, which has inhabited that locality
for tho past fifteen years. Exactly at which
time the reptile was taken into the stomach,
tho sufferer is not aware, lie felt its presence
iu the vicinity of the kidneys many years ago;
but the pains experienced, although sometimes
acute and troublesome, occasioned no alarm
until about two years since, when, one day
feeling quite unwell, he placed his hand upon
his bowels, and distinctly felt the snake crawl
ing within him. Since then it has grown enor
mously and has atttained a length of at least
fifteen inches, and a size round the middle o!
five or six inches. Its proportions can he
pretty accurately ascertained, as its entire
shape is fearfully obvious to the touch. It i*
quite active, and possesses an insatiable appe
tite, judging from the amount of food and wa
ter consumed by the sufferer, who is continu
ally parched with thirst, and not unfrequeutl)
requires from three to four gallons of Uu l ’ l
daily.
Through tho recommendation of au Indian,
lie has lately found considerable relief from
the incessant thirst by drinking wutcr liberally
diffused with vinegar. He has made several
ineffectual attempts to dislodgo tho “varmint
by starvation and the free use of stimulant-.
On one occasion, he abstained from both f° o ‘‘
anil water for three days, in tho hope of hrint?’
ing the occupant to some sort of terms. R |C
first day, the snake became uneasy ; the see
ond, boisterous; and tho third, furious, hit
still the man held out. At the end of the tlnn
day, however, his snakeship commenced au at
tack upon the walls of his prison, with wlm
appeared to be a tolerable full set of teeth, j ll1 ’
the result was uu immediate supply ot 1"”
more agreeable to both parties. As may 11
supposed, the man is reduced to a perfect sk l ’ 1 ’
stun, under the extreme torture of mind a" 1
body preying upon him night and day, blit j 1 ’
does not despair of tiuding a surgeon in 1 )’
city sulliciently skillful to make an incision l,l
the abdomen and remove the reptile.
We have read of similar cases ; but this
the first that ever came under our own
vatiou, uud wo hope it uioy be the last, lu r *’
Lave felt “till overish” ever since.
